ABOUT JHR Resource Recovery.
Specialist non-ferrous collection for trades, businesses, industry and private individuals.
JHR Resource Recovery collects copper cable, wire, brass and other recoverable non-ferrous material from businesses, trade premises, vans and working sites across York and the surrounding area.
Built around valuable recoverable material. NOT general waste.
Our initial focus is copper cable, wire and brass from electricians, contractors, wholesalers, installers and other businesses generating recoverable non-ferrous material. We also focus on waste material produced during manufacture and engineering works, including from both CNC, and turning based industries.
Collections are considered individually based on material type, quantity, location and access. Larger or worthwhile enquiries outside our normal collection area are also welcome.
HOW IT WORKS
Three straightforward steps.
We come to you
Collection from your premises, van or working site helps reduce unnecessary trips and disruption.
Digital-first from the outset
JHR’s systems are being built around clearer digital records, traceability and the direction UK waste tracking is moving.
Less admin for the customer
As waste handling becomes more formal and digital, the aim is to make using JHR simpler than repeatedly dealing with yard registration, travel and paperwork yourself.
SERVICE AREA
JHR provides non-ferrous collection across York and the surrounding area, with wider collections considered depending on material, quantity and location.
Our normal day-to-day collection area is shown as the Primary Collection Area, with a larger Extended Collection Area behind it for suitable enquiries.
Send us your collection postcode, material details and approximate quantity and we’ll confirm practical coverage.
